… and the requisite swimsuit costume. Totori wears whatever costume you choose on the field, during event scenes, and battles.

Way more interesting than the costumes is a challenge dungeon. If you played Atelier Rorona you might remember Orthogalaxen. Atelier Totori Plus has Orthogalaxen as a post game super-dungeon with tough enemies like Blood Element (the girl with the blood red bow) and Mask de ???? (the bird monster).

The Swimsuit is the most important thing to me here… since those kinds of costumes were noticeably absent from the original versions of Arland. Glad to see they finally added it!

Now were talking more costumes is what I wanted to see but that extra dungeon makes it all the better. I’m sure we’ll get this as this seems like a no-brainer especially since NIS i’m sure will be supporting the vita.

Actually, the Atelier games are currently in the air since Tecmo Koei owns Gust now. NIS specifically mentioned this game when they said future Gust games were in the air due to this change, as TK may want to publish it themselves or may be unwilling to re-license Gust’s catalog, though the announcement of Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory (co-developed by Gust and including a mascot of them) indicates that SOME agreement has been reached.

Didn’t NISA already announce the next Atelier game would come over here? I doubt theres any issue.

SirTeffy

They announced it BEFORE the TK takeover, and have since said “we are not sure anymore” due to having to go through TK. Neptunia Victory is the first GUST-influenced game they’ve announced since, and that’s joint-developed by NIS and Compile Heart as well.

The Atelier series is still in a gray area as far as getting licensed goes, I’d assume that Ar Tonelico is in the same boat as well.

All I can find about it is that the deal to buy Gust went through in December… and they announced the new Atelier game to come out over here like 3 months ago. Are you sure it was before the TK takeover?

SirTeffy

Bwoop, I’m an idiot, I thought the takeover was more recent. Like, after Meruru shipped “more recent”. But they haven’t announced Arland 4 yet, according to my Prinny Bomb archive.

Damn I forgot about that, well either way its a still a good chance for it to come over.

Wearing swim suit feel really wrong in the normal event there lol.^_^

Nice I always wondered why Orthogalaxen wasn’t in the original Totori game it’ll be cool to go through that.
the nurse outfit looks cute on her

Kai2591

Are the graphics exactly the same as the PS3 version? Not sure about it myself…

Ami Susuka

Totori is dressed like Caina? Wow..

Spirit Macardi

Having these fan-service type outfits in a Gust game just seems wrong. They’ve been one of the more progressive game designers out there, especially considering they made Ar Tonelico which was a straight-up parody of this sort of thing.

Then again, considering they’re now owned by the company that invented “jiggle physics”…

raymk

These kinds of costumes were always in gust games. They were just default costumes for characters in other games but there has always been fan-service costumes just not as DLC.

I wonder if this will make it over. Secretly hoping for some touch screen functionality. That would make item sorting much easier.

They are adding Orthogalaxen? As if the optional bosses in Totori weren’t tough enough. Atelier Totori is actually one of the hardest games I’ve ever played.
